On offer is a very late production chrome bumper genuine factory built V8, it carries the chassis number 1948 and the very last chrome bumper car was 1956!
The car is a genuine 2 owner car and has covered 76,500 miles from new and has been in storage for most of the past 20 odd years, prior to this the first owner used the car as daily transport for the 1st fifteen years and then purely for summer weekend use. HOX559N was supplied by Newbury Motors LTD of Shirley Birmingham and first registered on 1st April 1975.
This V8 is presented in it's original teal blue with Autumn leaf interior, the car presents very well indeed for a car that has had no paintwork or body restoration for over 30years. The original interior trim was however faded and tired when we acquired the car and we have treated it to a seat re-upholstery and new carpets which [to original specification] now makes the interior a lovely environment.
Looking back through the detailed history it states the engine had a top end overhaul including Aldon heads, a camshaft and followers, at the same time a new clutch was also fitted, this all took place in 1989 but the car has covered less than 10000 miles since. Also in 1989, the V8 had new wings and various other panels as well as a full respray carried out by Sutton MG centre, the current condition must surely be testimony to the quality of the work carried out some some 35 years ago!
If you are seeking a genuine low owner, low mileage genuine chrome bumper V8 in a truly sound well cared for condition with a known history then look no further this is a lovely example, it's not a show winning recently restored car in my opinion it's far rarer than that being a time warp survivor that's a credit to its 2 former owners.
We have offered it at a great price to facilitate a quick straightforward sale...
